Hello friends!
Well, the holiday season is off to a lovely start! Â (as in, who knew it started in October?!) Â I am very grateful, as it has kept me quite busy with commission work. Â I did manage to squeeze in some new work though, I’ll share a few today and the rest next week as they are in various stages of completion.
The piece I’m most proud of is part of the moon series; I nicknamed it “Roman Coin” and it kinda stuck (check out more of the series here and here).  It started as this sketch, on the right (marked on zinc on the left):
cut and etched:
Finished piece, a lovely study in black and white:
Other new work includes some familiar imagery — individual copper astrolabes are now available in gift sizes for the science lovers in your life:
…and a new piece based on a timeless classic, just for the locals:
And last but not least if you are in the area on Sunday, stop by the Beachwood Community Center and say hi! Â This lovely holiday show will run between 10am – 5pm, and is located at 25225 Fairmount Blvd (one block west of Richmond Rd.)
Until next time,
Chris
